Teased a mere 2 days ago by Tamashii Nations, we have our very first true prototype image of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed!

Kamen Rider Drive appears to have some excellent sculpted details and a good range of motion we’ve come to expect from most figuarts. Of course there’s no confirmation on if the Tire Koukan gimmick will be replicated in some fashion for the Drive SHF line. But we;ll find our more about this figure as information becomes available. In any case S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed and many other recent reveals will all be on display at Tamashii Nations 2014 at the end of this month!

Long speculated by fans and finally confirmed, the next premium Shinkocchou Seihou style S.H. Figuarts release is a Kamen Rider Kuuga Renewal! Demanded by fans for a very long time Bandai is finally taking a second crack at Kamen Rider Kuuga.

With the original being one of the earliest S.H. Figuarts it really shows it’s age. While we’ve yet to confirm solid details on the accessories included, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Renewal will be released in April 2015 for 5400 yen. A rather steep price tag that’s in line with the two previous premium style releases Kabuto Renewal & Hibiki. Expect to see more images of this exciting new figure at the upcoming Tamashii Nations 2014 at the end of October!

Go!

TokuNation has at long last made it’s way back to the first Sentai. Well, the show that retroactively is known as the first. Himitsu Sentai Goranger! Though it was nearly 20 years after it’s debut that this series gained it’s Super Sentai status it’s unquestionable that the series began a long tradition of colorful spandex heroes helping some big eyed bug men save Japan. So it’s about time that Bandai got around to making S.H. Figuarts Akaranger!

What better way to celebrate this legend than with a gorgeous sculpt, paint job and wealth of accessories? S.H. Figuarts Akaranger is no slouch! He includes several sets of new hands, two versions of his iconic Red Bute rope weapon, the Silver Shot pistol, the Birdie flying rockets, and even a version of the Goranger Storm Ball! Though this figure is a bit on the large side it’s still a fantastic addition to any sentai collector’s display.

Check out our full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Akaranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Note that although the name on the box is spelled Akarenger, (official romanization) generally his name in English is accepted to be Akaranger, and Toei’s subsequent use of the actual word “Ranger” in many series and hero names would imply that should be the correct term in this instance. So for consistency we went with that.

This is certainly a quick turn around! Despite the series itself only being in it’s 3rd week, it looks like S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed is on the horizon!

Teased by the official Tamashii Features twitter account is our very first look at Drive. You may recall that last year Kamen Rider Gaim premiered on October 6th and just 2 weeks later the first gray prototype of S.H. Figuarts Gaim was revealed prior to Tamashii Nations. Kamen Rider Drive premiered October 5th and has had what appears to be a fully colored prototype revealed on October 19th in anticipation of the same event.

Tamashii Nations 2014 will being on October 31st so we can expect more in depth looks at this brand new figure then!

TokuNation is ready to kick off another round of new galleries, and this time with a  one-two punch of classic Showa Rider action! This week we spotlight Kamen Rider Black RX’s two alternate forms; Bio Rider & Robo Rider!

Bio Rider, known as the Prince of Anger, was RX’s second form. Born in a life threatening situation RX achieved this form to rescue his ally Joe The Haze. And S.H. Figuarts Bio Rider is definitely one finely detailed figure, one of the best detailed figuarts for some time, featuring some of Bandais recent trend of real detailing. Right down to “folds” in the costumes fabric which are faithfully recreated. Bio Rider comes complete with an astonishing 5 full sets of extra hands and his trademark Bio Blade weapon.

Robo Rider, known as the Prince of Sorrow, was RX’s first surprising alternate form. In response to the supposed death of the young girl Hitomi, Robo Rider debuted in battle against Death Garon. S.H. Figuarts Robo Rider is sadly not one of the best figuarts released recently and includes only a few extra hands along with his Vortech Shooter. However this figure along with Bio Rider completes a display of Kamen Rider Black/RX for figuarts collectors. Though it isn’t as nice as Bio Rider, there’s enough there to love.

After what’s seemed like an eternity, the silence from Bandai of America following the Morphin Madness competition in March has been broken! In a surprise turn of events one of the 5 winners has found their prize pack waiting for them today!

Twitter user @CABAN81 was kind enough to post a shot of his prize. A fully Gold Deluxe Legendary Morpher! Though it was originally thought the winning rangers of the Morphin Madness competition would be made into a key set to be included with the Gold Legendary Morpher, it looks like Bandai changed things up. Instead the Gold Morpher comes packaged with a Super Megaforce Gold Ranger Key & Mighty Morphin Gold Ranger Key!! Each of these are of course repaints of their respective Red Ranger Keys but do they ever look awesome in gold!

Congrats again to @CABAN81 for his win in the Morphin Madness competition and our gratitiude for sharing this news with the fandom. Whoever the other 4 winners are, you should be expecting your prize packs soon!

It’s TokuNation’s Stage now! We’re back with another in our long running series of Kamen Rider Gaim Galleries! Today we’re examining the one and only S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms!

Kachidoki Arms is of course Kamen Rider Gaim’s 2nd upgraded form after Jinba Arms. This tank, for lack of a better description, was an absolute powerhouse in the TV series and in figure form it’s presence is imposing. Decked out head to toe with incredible finely sculpted features and exquisitely painted details this figure is a masterpiece. Not only that but includes almost every accessory you could need for it, like the DJ Gun & DJ Gun Taiken Mode as well as the Kachidoki Batta flag-like weapons. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms is sure to be held up as one of the best SHF releases this year. Carrying on the excellent tradition begun by Gaim Oranger Arms, Kachidoki does not disappoint.

To see this figure in all it’s glory click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a MASSIVE 80 image gallery as well as a full of Kachidoki Arms.
